    Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg says he thanks the prime minister for going back to the EU, and asks for her to take with her a copy of the House of Lords report from 2017 which says if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, "we don't owe them any money".

    "That might make them more inclined to talk," he says.

    Theresa May says the advice is that there would be obligations for us to pay "as we are a country that respects its legal obligations".

    She asks her to look into the "new hostile environment for EU nationals".

    Mrs May says the withdrawal agreement set out clearly how EU citizens' rights would be protected. She'll ask the DWP to look at the universal credit issue, she says.

  13. Soubry: 'Another week of can kicking'published at 16:50 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2019

    Brexit Statement

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Tory MP Anna Soubry says "this just isn't good enough", with the whole Brexit process turning the UK into a laughing stock.

    She says the PM delayed the vote in December in order to "sort out the backstop", only for MPs to "overwhelmingly" reject it.

    She suggests there has been "another week of can kicking", with the truth that "nothing's changed".

    Mrs May says there were some assurances achieved following the delay of the vote, and she is now working across the Commons to find a way of securing the deal.

  15. MP calls for indicative votespublished at 16:37 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2019

    Brexit Statement

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Independent MP Frank Field says he wants to reach out to the prime minister.

    He says "none of us know what the opinion of this House is ", and calls on the back of an amendment he will lay to the motion next week, for indicative votes to be made "government policy" so constituents can see how members are voting and what advice they wish to give "and not how we're privately lobbying".

    Indicative votes are votes by MPs on a series of non-binding resolutions. They are a means of testing the will of the House of Commons on different options relating to one issue.

    Theresa May says there is a neutral motion which is amendable which will be put forwards next week, and that "there are further discussions to be had".

    Agreeing to hold the referendum was David Cameron's "biggest mistake", EU President Donald Tusk has told a BBC documentary.

    Mr Tusk said he had warned the former prime minister that a vote would be "so dangerous" and "stupid".

    And he had been "shocked" when Mr Cameron said he had only agreed because he wrongly believed he would continue to be in a coalition with the Lib Dems, who would block it.

    Mr Cameron, who campaigned for Remain, was right to stand down after the referendum, Mr Tusk said.

    He added: "It was like his day of reckoning was coming, reckoning for his biggest mistake in his life."

    Inside Europe: Ten Years of Turmoil, to be broadcast on 28 January, features interviews with figures from all sides of the Brexit debate, although producers said Mr Cameron declined to take part because he has signed an exclusive deal for his memoirs.

  20. PM 'freezes heart blood of communities' humouring no-dealpublished at 16:32 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2019

    Brexit Statement

    Parliament

    Liz Saville RobertsImage source, hoc

    Plaid Cymru leader Liz Saville Roberts says the prime minister must understand when she "humours" the idea of a no-deal Brexit "she freezes the heart blood of our communities".

    She questions how the prime minister can say she defends her constituents' interests "when she prefers no-deal to a people's vote".

    Theresa May says when she spoke to Welsh farmers they shared enthusiasm about the possibility of no-deal.
